New Orleans Saints - D'Ernest Johnson, Running Back, Cleveland Browns

D'Ernest Johnson made a name for himself Thursday night and has now become a trade target around the NFL. The Cleveland Browns' third-string running back went well over 100 yards in his first start and looks like a legitimate option in any backfield.

The New Orleans Saints are desperate for help behind Alvin Kamara and should be calling the Browns right away.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Xavien Howard, Cornerback, Miami Dolphins

What more could the Tampa Bay Buccaneers want? The offense seems set, so let's focus on defense.

The Miami Dolphins could look to move on from cornerback Xavien Howard given the trajectory of the season. Howard could make the short move to Tampa and shore up that defense as they pursue another Super Bowl.

Arizona Cardinals - Nick Foles, Quarterback, Chicago Bears

This represents the most out-of-the-box NFL trade target on this list. The Arizona Cardinals have an MVP quarterback in Kyler Murray and a solid backup in Colt McCoy.

Nick Foles, meanwhile, continues to waste away on the bench in Chicago. The Cardinals could add him for extra insurance and incorporate his NFL experience to a roster chasing a title. Sometimes, such wild card moves pay huge dividends.

Los Angeles Rams - Odell Beckham Jr., Wide Receiver, Cleveland Browns

OBJ makes his second appearance on this list as he could join yet another NFC contender. The Los Angeles Rams could pair him with Matthew Stafford to make the offense even more dynamic.

Some risk is involved because of how Beckham has played recently with the Browns. But the Rams still have enough talent at receiver to be fine even if OBJ doesn't fully get back to his old ways.

San Francisco 49ers - Marlon Mack, Running Back, Indianapolis Colts

Mack is a popular figure in any NFL trade article. The San Francisco 49ers, like the Panthers, are desperate for healthy players in the backfield.

Mack is the top option openly available for a trade, and the 49ers have to be thinking about bringing him in right away.

Seattle Seahawks - Nick Foles, Quarterback, Chicago Bears

Foles is arguably the top NFL quarterback available and the Seattle Seahawks could use another signal-caller in addition to Geno Smith. There is no guarantee when Russell Wilson will be able to return at this point.

Foles may not be the most dynamic option, but his NFL experience speaks for itself and could save Seattle's season.
